DON VALLEY ACADEMY AMBASSADORS START THEIR JOURNEY TOWARDS THE WORLD OF WORK!!

I was really pleased to be back at Don Valley Academy today working with Richard Brooke, the academy principal, and Patrick Morris, who had managed to get a fantastic group of students to apply to become Don Valley Academy's first 'Better Learners, Better Workers' ambassadors!

Sarah Ward and I had already delivered a whole Year 9 assembly and a targeted workshop to explain the approach, the programme and the opportunities and challenges ahead for any students interested in working with us over the next two years. Today was the interviews...

It was great to interview some of Richard's wonderful young people and see, once again, Patrick's enthusiasm and his commitment for his students. Patrick and Richard had shortlisted a great group for us to interview and we selected a fantastic group of young people to be Don Valley Academy's first BLBW Ambassadors. I am looking forward to working with these young people and seeing them grow and develop as talented and extraordinary young people ready for the world of work!
